No, I hope you're kidding because I don't know see how he could have gone right past Blind. This all happened in split second too. What matters is that he did get fouled.

The ball went to the hardest spot for the 3rd goal. No goal keeper could have saved that shot. None of the human can save the ball that comes mms next to the foot.

That was a terrible dive, but it wasn't nearly the same as the penalty situation.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

No, he didn't. You can't get fouled by unnaturally throwing yourself into the defender. There's nothing in the rules which would force referees to call those, which in turn makes me wonder why you're so eager for that **** to be rewarded.

Perhaps, instead of diving, Oscar should have kept going. Then we would have observed the level of inevitable contact and i could have been proven wrong, and gladly so.

Yes he did. If Blind didn't leave his leg in Oscar's path, maybe we could have seen a "football move".

You are aware that he is allowed to move his hands and also move his feet instead of making a roll backwards in his goal?

Coming from the country of great goalkeepers I can tell you with 100% certainty that a good keeper saves this shot.

Oliver Kahn always says it best...every shot you can touch is a shot you can prevent from going in.

Jordan never fully understood basketball. He had the lowest basketball IQ of any NBA "superstar" in history.

Maybe Marquinhos and Lucas Moura aren't feeling as devastated over missing out on the team anymore

Yes that actually happened lol :D

However, it was obviously ment in jest by LvG (for the most part), with Robben in turn acknowledging that he's happy to be with Bayern.

Hehe, those two have really good chemistry. It's been good to see how Van Gaal has lightened up a bit over the years.
